I've said it before, and I'll say it again: From Spaced to Baby Driver, and beyond, Edgar Wright is one of the most original directors working today. I've already taken a look at his first studio feature film, Shaun of the Dead, and why it's still today such a brilliant genre-blending comedy. Today, I'll be looking at his next film: Hot Fuzz, my personal favorite, and one of the greatest buddy cop action comedies ever made. Specifically, I'll delve into many of Edgar Wright and Hot Fuzz's filmic influences that helped shape the young director and his movie into what it is.

Hot Fuzz is one of the few films I'd consider perfect. That doesn't mean it's the _best_ film, or even my favourite, but that it accomplishes exactly what it set out to do in the best way possible. There's no tweak to the film you could make it that would improve it.

@CinemaStix Месяц назад

I know what you mean and totally agree. Wright has said his only regret was that the car chase to the model village wasn’t quite long or exciting enough. Which like, sure. But that’s pretty darn good if that’s the only thing that could be conceivably improved upon.

Hot Fuzz and Scott Pilgrim are two of my favourite examples of top notch filmmaking. Not just the writing and directing, but all the cuts, interstitials, jokes, pacing, everything. They're perfection.

@davideberhardt6150 Месяц назад

YES! The rate in which Scott Pilgrim fires its jokes, puns and just clever gags from every angle and in every direction is mind-melting. It's everywhere, from the images, cuts, editing as such, music, sound FX and of course dialogue & acting. It's incredibly rewatchable, much like Hot Fuzz (Pegg & Frost even have a cameo in the Scott Pilgrim series)

@Pheenixz 13 дней назад

My favourite example of this from Scott Pilgrim is the sequence where Knives goes to his apartment to find him and the door is answered by his roommate. That whole exchange where Scott is kinda visible, then hidden, then jumps out of the window and leaves behind Knives is so well choreographed that you almost forget about the dialogue, which just reinforces the humour of the situation.

I didn't like World's End much the first time I watched it. Maybe because I was expecting something closer to Shaun and Hot Fuzz. But on rewatch I couldn't agree more about it's emotional core being the key why it's a different experience. It's not meant to be "funny", it's deeper than that.

The number one thing I’d take away is that nostalgia is not always a toxic impulse but exactly what drives the people who make the best art. If anything people like Edgar Wright and Tarantino or Jon Favreau among many others are great examples of how being a total nerd for nostalgia is a great thing. I remember having chats with friends when I was a kid inspired by all the action movies we watched and how we would make action flick. To me Edgar Wright is what you get when you follow through and keep going. Anyone out there feels that spark should follow it.

This is one of the most re-watchable films of all time. There's SO much detail in what's happening, what's said and what the actors are doing that you won't get it all on the first, second or even third viewing. I've seen this movie at least 20 times and I still laugh at something I missed the first 19 times I saw it. Edgar Wright was the original director hired to do the first "Antman" and I do wonder how that would have turned out. My understanding is that the studio and he couldn't see eye to eye on how to shoot it. I imagine Edgar wanted to do more of a comedy spin and the studio didn't quite want to go that far, though the version they got does have quite a bit of comedy in it.

I love the breakdowns you do, breaking down scenes and explaining the techniques. Hot Fuzz is actually my favourite movie of all time. On a slight tangent. Just a couple of nights ago I watched Godzilla Minus One. So impressed with the movie. It's very efficient with its filmmaking, jumping into the next timeframe can be very sudden, but there is some genuinely beautiful cinematography, great score and emotive acting performances.

It always feels as if the homages to other films are really heartfelt. It is almost like fanfic, but good.

I love all of Edgars foreshadowing. Must have watched SOTD and HF a hundred times.

"you've got a moustache"... "I knowww!" Topped marginally by the double out frame

You skipped Hong Kong "bullet ballet" films entirely, which a lot of the US '80s/'90s action movies themselves referenced or outright stole from. Drop Zone and The Last Boy Scout are the earliest movies I can recall that borrowed liberally from John Woo, whose influence was undeniable.

Hot Fuzz is tied with Spaceballs as my favourite movie. It's just so good, and one of the most quotable movies ever for me. Also great thumbnail 😂

Edgar Wright and Wes Anderson are so unique and distinct you can tell within seconds of the film hands down my two favorites.

I don't think I go a week without a hot fuzz reference. It's definitely a top 5 for me.

It's actually amazing to me how much pastiche Wright gets away with without somehow sacrificing originality and without making you giving you that feeling of cultural exhaustion that such films often elicit. He's the best at what he does.
